No sleep for the poor.
Only sleep for the rich.

As people walk,
as people ignore,
as people stand oblivious,
a man is arrested
for sitting..
on a sidewalk!
As we sit on our chairs
having a structure to sit on.
We don’t think of the man
who has nowhere to sit.

Human right?
What is that?
No such thing as that
in the City by the Bay.
